Antidote

I see you're saying things I need to hear

Oh, do not worry, it's crystal clear

I know you're trying to be good and kind

What you're looking for, I hope you'll find

There's no room for compromise

Half truths and alibis

So many things we can't allow

Sign on the door says 'Full' anyhow

From now on we'll pass from land to land

So much to learn and understand

Those painted ships on a painted sea

Are saying goodbye to you and me

Nobody's perfect I realise

And believe me, I sympathise

It's not empty and it's not vain

To live and love, and love again

None of this is faithlessness

It's an antidote to bitterness

And I will love you nonetheless

For seeking out some tenderness

And we will be what we were meant to be

And there ain't no yours and there's no mine

And there's just you, and there's just me

And that's just fine

From now on we'll pass from shore to shore

Making sense of it all more and more

Those painted ships on that painted sea

Have said goodbye to you and me

Nobody's perfect I realise

And believe me, I sympathise

It's not empty and it's not vain

To live and love, and love again

None of this is faithlessness

It's an antidote to bitterness

And I will love you nonetheless

For seeking out some tenderness

None of this is faithlessness

It's an antidote to bitterness

And I will love you nonetheless

For seeking out some tenderness
